Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain

Ive had some variable lower back pain going on for about 3 weeks. Ive alturnated between tens unit, epsome salt/peppermit oil baths, massage, ice packs, stretching excercises. With a little relief. I finally resorted to 37.5mgs of ultram. However i can feel golf ball sized lumps on either side of my spine, they are squishy and move around a bit when rubbed. They feel good when i rub them and even better when i push on them hard and stretch. Should i be conserned about these lumps? Any advise on how to get rid of the pain permanently?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Do not worry about lump in paraspinal spine muscle.

Due to compression of this nerve root there can be pain in your back.

I will advise you to do MRI spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
